AIM:To study the effects of N-palmitoylethanolamide ( PEA) on the anxiety-and depression-like behaviors of the mouse model induced by restraint stress , and to explore the possible mechanism of anxiolytic and antide-pressant effects of PEA .METHODS:The mice were intragastrically treated with 2.5, 5 and 10 mg/kg of PEA for 21 con-secutive days once daily .Thirty min after intragastric administration , the mice ( except the normal control group ) were placed in the glass tube to accept 4-h chronic restraint stress for 21 d.After the last administration , the mice were submit-ted to the forced stress test and the open field test (OFT) to observe the effects of PEA on the depression-like behaviors. The cumulative immobility time was recorded during the 4-min interval in the forced swimming test ( FST) or during the 5-min interval in the tail suspension test (TST).The elevated plus maze (EPM) test was used to investigate the effect of PEA on the mouse anxiety-like behaviors , and the water maze method was used to investigate the learning and memory abi-lities, spatial orientation and cognitive function of mice .After the behavior tests , the serum was collected and the hippo-campus was removed . The serum contents of adrenocorticotropic hormone ( ACTH ) , cortisol ( CORT ) and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) in the hippocampus were detected by ELISA .The changes of acetylcholinesterase ( AChE) ac-tivity in the hippocampal homogenate was measured by spectrophotometry .RESULTS:Compared with model group , in the FST or TST, the immobility time in the mice treated with PEA at 2.5~10 mg/kg and fluoxetine was significantly reduced . In the OFT, the total locomotion distance and total movement time were increased significantly in the mice , but only 10 mg/kg PEA and fluoxetine increased the numbers of rearing .In the EPM test , the percentage of the time spent in open arms, the entries into open arms and the total locomotion distance in 4 arms in the mice were significantly increased .In wa-ter maze test , PEA at 5 and 10 mg/kg and fluoxetine significantly shortened the latency to find the security zone in the mice, and PEA at 10 mg/kg and fluoxetine obviously shorten the swimming distance .Compared with model group , PEA at 10 mg/kg and fluoxetine reduced the mouse serum levels of ACTH and CORT , and the adrenal index , increased the 5-HT content and decreased the AChE activity in the hippocampus .CONCLUSION:PEA produces antagonistic effects on an-xiety-and depression-like behaviors in the mice induced by restraint stress .Its specific mechanism may be related to the re-gulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis function by increasing the 5-HT level in hippocampus , thus participating in the regulation of central cholinergic system .

Objective To compare eradication rates,safety and compliance of minocycline quadruple and tailored therapies in patients retreated for Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) infection.Methods Between January 2014 and June 2014,135 patients with dyspepsia (18-70 years) and H.pylori infection after at least one previous eradication treatment at a tertiary hospital were randomly assigned to a 10-day treatment with minocycline quadruple therapy versus tailored triple regimen of PPI,amoxicillin and a third antibiotic.In the group of tailored therapy,medications were adjusted based on clarithromycin sensitivity and cytochrome P450 isoenzyme 2C19 genotype.Eradication status was assessed 4-12 weeks after treatment.Results Although H.pylori eradication rates were higher in the minocycline therapy group than that in the tailored therapy group in intention-to-treat [84.1% (95% CI 75.0%-93.2%) vs 75.8% (95% CI 65.1%-86.5%),P =0.245] and per-protocol [88.3% (95% CI 80.3%-96.3%) vs 79.7% (95%CI 69.7%-89.7%),P =0.197] analyses,the differences between the two groups were not statistically significant.The incidence of adverse effects and compliance between the two groups were also comparable.Conclusions The tailored therapy in this study had a poor eradication efficacy in the retreated patients with H.pylori infection.Minocycline quadruple therapy achieved a relatively satisfactory eradication efficacy and may be an alternative choice for the retreatment of H.pylori infection.Clinical trial registration Chinese Clinical Trial Registry,ChiCTR-TRC-13003975.

Objective Cerebral small vessel disease is closely related to kidney disease .Chronic kidney disease ( CKD) may increase the risk of hemorrhage stroke .However, its impact on hemorrhage-prone small vessel disease represented by cerebral microb-leeds( CMBs) remains unclear .The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship of CKD with the presence and location of CMBs in patients with acute lacunar stroke . Method Consecutive patients with acute lacunar stroke within 7 days from onset were enrolled retrospectively from January 2014 to July 2016 and scanned by gradient-echo T2*-weighted imaging (GRE-T2*WI).Their demographic, clinical, laboratory and imaging data were collected .Estimate glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was calculated individu-ally by the following chronic kidney disease epidemiology collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation for the Asian population .CKD was defined as the level of eGFR<60 mL/min/1.73 m2. Results Finally, 308 patients (mean age:65.79±8.67 years; median NHISS:3(2-5);42.2%Female) with lacunar ischemic stroke were enrolled in the final analysis .Among these patients, CMBs were present in 116 patients ( 37.7%) and CKD in 62 patients ( 20.1%) .Patients were divided into CKD group and normal group according to GFR level . The result of univariate analysis showed that patients with CKD had higher prevalence of diabetes ( P=0.014) and higher degrees of CMBs (P=0.001) compared with normal group.CMBs were refined by its location .The result of multivariable analysis showed that CMBs in deep brain [ OR=7.61, 95%CI 4.18-16.55, P=0.001] were sig-nificantly associated with CKD incidence , while no significant rela-tionship was found in CKD incidence and CMBs in the lobe and mixed location of brain . Conclusion The CKD incidence in patients with acute lacunar stroke is in dependent relationship with CMBs in deep brain and without significant correlation with CMBs in the lobe and mixed location of brain .

20?10~9/L. This regimen was given for one course for induction, and was followed by conventional chemotherapy as maintenance or consolidation when complete remission(CR) achieved, or succeeding with other treatment when no response could be observed. Results Six patients achieved CR (54.5%) and one achieved partial remission (PR)(9.1%) with one course of treatment. Among 6 of 11 patients with CR, 5 relapsed at 2,3,6,8 and 16 months respectively. Three relapsed patients were retreated with the same protocol but achieved only one partial responses. Nine of the 11 patients had been died and their mean survival (since induction chemotherapy) was 9.2 months. Infectious complications during cytopenia were less serious than conventional chemotherapy withno treatment-related.Conclusion This moderate intensity protocol with G-CSF priming is effective and safe but remissions are of short duration.
